Senate Votes Down Bernie Sanders's Resolution to Require Reporting on Israeli Violations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in the U.S., senators voted against a resolution advanced by
Senator Bernie Sanders Tuesday that would have required the Biden
administration to provide Congress with a report on how U.S. arms are
being used in Israel and its human rights violations in Palestine. Just
11 senators backed Sanders's measure. Of the 11 backers, only three have
called for a ceasefire in Gaza: Elizabeth Warren, Peter Welch and Jeff
Merkley. Dick Durbin is the other U.S. senator to call for a ceasefire.
